Multifunction Display

Avidyne’s EX500 brings easy-to-use, datalink-enabled multifunction display capability to the flight deck of general aviation aircraft.

The Avidyne Advantage

Avidyne is committed to designing products that improve situational awareness and safety. And just as important, Avidyne is uniquely focused on developing products that are easy to use. With the FlightMax EX500, Avidyne offers the most pilot-friendly multifunction displays available for general aviation.

The EX500’s user interface dramatically improves your ability to access and display critical flight data. This design philosophy keeps operation simple and consistent

by allowing you to select and display what you need on a single easy-to interpret integrated moving map. As a radar display replacement, the EX500 provides easy access to radar modes, tilt control, and bearing adjust.

With the EX500’s “map-centric” operation, you can display a moving map of your flight plan along with radar and datalink weather. And special-use airspace. And traffic. And terrain. And lightning. All without ever leaving the map page. It’s the only MFD available that provides the complete picture. And it’s the easiest to use.

Satellite Datalink Weather &

Entertainment

The Best Map Available

The EX500 keeps you connected with the complete weather picture, allowing you to view datalink graphical weather information, seamlessly integrated with your flight plan moving map, lightning, traffic, and terrain display.

Avidyne leads the industry in datalink-capable multifunction displays and the EX500 MFD is the most advanced and easiest-to-use datalink system you can get.

Interfacing the EX500 with Avidyne’s MLB700 Broadcast

Datalink Receiver gives pilots comprehensive, graphical information about weather conditions all across the

Continental United States (CONUS).

All special-use and class airspaces are color-keyed for added clarity, and can be displayed at the same time as NEXRAD or weather radar for a more complete picture. Comprehensive

Jeppesen NavData™ and an expansive North American obstacle database provide an unparalleled view of your flight environment. Full overlay capability allows you to add or remove traffic, lightning, and radar, with 180-degree forward view and

360-degree center view maps.

Curved Paths

When flying GPS approaches, the EX500’s large display clearly shows curved flight path segments when provided by the GPS, including DME arcs, Holding Patterns and Procedure Turns, overlaid with traffic, terrain, weather, airports and runway diagrams.

And with Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts, the EX500 really takes the guess work out of shooting instrument approaches.

Ultra-Bright, High-Resolution Display

The EX500 features our industry-leading, high- resolution, activematrix liquid-crystal display (AMLCD), providing you with the brightest, most versatile big-screen moving map available. With nearly three times as many pixels as previous-generation displays, and an incredibly wide viewing angle, the EX500 provides clear and concise navigation and weather information over an exceptional color-contoured terrain and water base map.

The NRST Page shows graphical and textual METARs at the destination and surrounding airports, making it easy to monitor weather ahead and select an alternate when needed.

Using the industry-leading WSI InFlight® Weather Service via the SIRIUS® Satellite Network, the EX500 MFD displays critical, real-time information for pilots, including WSI’s exclusive high-resolution NOWrad® radar mosaic, overlaid right on the moving map. The EX500 also displays Storm

Track Vectors, Hail Warnings, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, graphical and textual METARs, TAFs, Temperatures and Winds

Aloft, TFRs, and Lightning from the United States Precision

Lightning Network.

At a glance, the

EX500 shows Winds

& Temperatures

Aloft to help determine best cruising altitude.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio

With the MLB700, you also have access to over 130 channels of digital-quality music, sports, news, and talk radio, right through your aircraft’s audio system.

Audio content can be selected from anywhere in the aircraft using the RC70 wireless RF remote control.

Simple & Intuitive Situational Awareness.

CMax™ – Maximizing Your Approach

Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts option offers a world-wide library of geo-referenced approach charts and airport diagrams, helping you manage and access critical flight information and reducing the amount of paper required on board your aircraft.

Utilizing Jeppesen’s trusted JeppView™ Electronic Airway

Manual, CMax makes accessing an approach or viewing an airport diagram a breeze. At startup, your departure airport chart is automatically loaded for ease of orientation, especially at unfamiliar fields.

Your destination airport diagram and the list of available approaches are automatically loaded at the time your flight plan is entered, and can be viewed easily using the Auto-fill capability, or you can easily select and view any approach at any airport in the database.

Trip Page

The EX500's versatile

Trip Page provides information about your route of flight including a list of all remaining waypoints in the active flightplan, with distances and times for each leg. Graphical

METARs for all reporting airports are also listed, which can help you in determining an alternate airport in the event of inclement weather or an emergency situation. Textual METARs are also available for each reporting airport. The EX500 translates the

METAR abbreviations into plain English for easy interpretation.

Terrain & Obstacles

With its complete terrain and water base map, and a North

American database containing towers and other obstacles greater than 200’ AGL, the EX500 provides a clear presentation of terrain hazards. Obstacles can be displayed with MSL altitude labels, and

Avidyne’s exclusive terrain scale shows the altitude of the highest terrain and obstacle height in the displayed area. The “nearest obstacle” feature makes it easy to determine the height and proximity of nearby towers as you descend into any unfamiliar areas. The EX500 also interfaces with the popular EGPWS/TAWS sensors for added safety, making it the most versatile multi-function display available.

TFRs

Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) areas are updated via datalink to provide the most up-to-date information about your flight environment. Having the complete picture gives you the ability to avoid hazardous weather conditions and stay clear of restricted airspaces, saving you time and fuel.
